Steelers punter out for the year

[dmek25]

nobody here wants to trade Frost for Brett Favre? ( relax, its a joke)

I don't understand why anyone would say to get rid of Frost before we even see what this other guy can do. While Frost is not the best punter he got the job done and seems to get a little better each year.

Not the same thing.

The last trade involving a punter I recall was 3-4 years ago involving Sauerbrun, but Frost isn't on his level at all. And since Denver was involved, you have to throw out all conventional wisdom since they trade and sign just about anybody.

Anybody remember Ed Bunn? Our third round pick from 1993 (two picks ahead of John Lynch!!!) Bunn never made the team......and Kelly Goodburn was his competition!! Charley Casserly......Ed Bunn? Maybe Charley Casserly......My point is, success at the punter position, for some reason is difficult to predict. If Brooks shanks any punts during preseason, Frost is here to stay.

Actually, I don't remember him.

Seriously though that sucks for the Steelers. Daniel Sepulvida was one of the best young punters in football. I think they are going to have a hard time filling his shoes.

Don't forget the vet min contract.

I say Frost for a number one and a conditional 3rd (over 35 yards per punt average) and we all go home.

Thinking caps, people.

Agreed. Nobody will ever trade anything for a P/K. the fact that teams sometimes use draft picks on them is almost frowned upon so don't expect us to be doing anything but releasing one of those guys.
